BurnAtOnce is the first freeware CD/DVD authoring tool I’ve seen on the Win32 platform. Actually the software is a frontend to various high quality components: cdrdao, ddump, mad (mpeg audio decoder), etc.

BAO gives you a fairly slick interface and good basic features. You can create audio & data discs, read discs to image files, burn image files (.bin/.cue., .iso), erase CD-RW disc and so on. So the feature set is actually pretty nice.

An interesting project, but it still needs development. Even at it’s current state it is a very snappy tool for doing some basic CD-R tasks and most importantly it is free.
